is that watermelon ice i see in the distance?
not a good omen
what is on that ice floe over there?
oh a couple of geriatrics who have reached their use by date
didn't know they were still allowed to do that
i am suddenly realising that this is a dangerous world for a bear
don'r know what i can do about it
our only hope is for some kindly humans
to save us
we must learn to
scratch SOS into the ice
then they will think we're cute
may give us a better chance
our almost extinct koala cousins
are having some success with emphasisng
the cuddly cute factor
although
cuddling a polar bear is not that easy
I love this poem, as spoken by the bear. Resonate with the irony of them scratching SOS into the ice so we'll think they're cute. Really, I dont know what it will take for world leaders to wake up if the melting ice, floods and wildfires arent speaking to them. They only know the language of money. False gods.
ReplyDeleteSadly tis true....
ReplyDeleteWe can become the spirit familiars of a vanishing apex predator tribe. May be just as difficult as hugging polar bears, but what else are we gonna do?
ReplyDeleteEven cute doesn't seem to work anymore (see children all over the world)--kindly is way less than enough.
ReplyDeleteThe almost cheery tone only serves to emphasise the sad truths.
ReplyDeleteI am willing to wager a polar bear would allow me to cuddle with him/her. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteA wholesome apology to the polar bears Rall.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend
Much💛love
*sigh*
ReplyDeleteWe need humans that are both clever and kind to convince the ones that aren't naturally kind too.
ReplyDeleteWhat IS that red ? Global warming (extreme weather) throughout earth's entire existence must have been (will be) traumatizing for all living creatures here on earth. This isn't the only time it has happened!
ReplyDeleteThis is so very sad. The crimson ice left me shivering with dread.
ReplyDeleteSOS
This is more powerful through the use of the polar bear's voice. I wish I could hug every one of them.
